1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overall sentiment in the commodity market was weak yesterday, and the prices of finished steel products oscillated at the bottom. The supply - demand structure of rebar was relatively balanced, while hot - rolled coils faced inventory pressure. Steel prices are expected to maintain bottom - range oscillations, and the export license management policy may put short - term pressure on prices but is expected to be gradually digested [2]. - Iron ore prices are estimated to operate within an oscillating range. Supply shows an increasing trend in overseas shipments, while demand has declined with a drop in daily pig iron production. The overall inventory is rising, and the impact of the export license management policy needs further observation [5]. - For manganese silicon and ferrosilicon, the report remains relatively optimistic about the black sector and domestic policies. Future market trends will be led by the direction of the black sector and cost increases due to factors such as manganese ore and electricity prices [9][10]. - Industrial silicon prices are expected to fluctuate following the market, with short - term rebounds after touching support levels. The supply reduction has encountered a bottleneck, and demand is weakening [13]. - Polysilicon prices saw a significant increase yesterday. Although production is expected to decline in December, the pressure of inventory accumulation before the Spring Festival is difficult to alleviate. The market shows a differentiation between expectations and reality, and short - term fluctuations are expected to increase [16]. - The float glass market maintains a weak supply - demand balance, and prices are expected to show narrow - range oscillations in the short term due to high inventory and weak demand [19]. - Soda ash prices are expected to continue to decline under pressure in the short term due to increasing supply and weak demand. Attention should be paid to enterprise maintenance schedules and inventory changes [21]. 3.
